The Doctrine of Being in Hegel’s Science of Logic (original) (raw)

THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC. GWF HEGEL. Summary and comments. Gabriel Robledo Esparza.

In the book La Lógica de Hegel y el marxismo , published in 2009, an exhaustive study of the objective logic of G. W. F. Hegel was made; This matter is the content of the first volume of The Science of Logic, the masterpiece of the German philosopher. Our work was structured as follows. In the first place, Hegel's text was taken as a starting point, either by means of a direct quotation, a summary or an extract; later, an attempt was made to give the Hegelian obscurity the greatest possible intelligibility in order to obtain the marrow of the philosopher's thought; Finally, this essential nucleus was placed on its feet by rescuing the rational content of the Hegelian postulates. In this Summary we present both Hegel's thought and the Marxist interpretation of it, completely decanted, separated from all the complicated intellective apparatus used to arrive at them, but without altering their essence. In this way, we want to make our work accessible to a larger number of readers.

The Scientific Status of Hegel's Logic, its Circular Structure, and the Matter of its Beginning

Revista Eletrônica Estudos Hegelianos, 2021

This article is concerned with some of the criteria which Hegel believes apply to a scientific treatment of logic. I briefly address criteria which I take Hegel to inherit from traditional rationalism before focusing on two fairly idiosyncratic criteria: the requirement that a science of logic exhibit a circular structure and that it begin with the concept of pure being. I offer an explanation of these criteria which understands them as motivated by anti-sceptical concerns, before arguing that Hegel's mature treatment of the latter criterion is problematically ambiguous.

The Programme and Beginning of Hegel's Logic

Introductory remarks My lecture consists of some introductory remarks and two parts. In the first part, I will look at the opening chapter of Hegel's Science of Logic on Being up to the beginning of the second chapter on Being-there. 1 Being and Nothing will turn out as the eternal logical prehistory and Becoming as the logical big bang. This big bang marks the beginning of the evolution of logical space, whose first relatively stable state is Being-there. In the second part, I will comment on circular negation as the operation that drives the logical evolution.

Commentary on Hegel's Logic 1: Prefaces and Introduction

Phenomenology of spirit. Although I cannot proclaim to be nearly as good a Hegel-scholar as Harris is, I still thought it worth the effort to express my thoughts and interpretations of Science of logic in a study analysing each paragraph and then explaining it in more detail, as best as I could.

Review of Stanley Rosen, The Idea of Hegel's Science of Logic

Dialogue: Canadian Philosophical Review, 2015

In the past decades, philosophical interest in Hegel has seen a resurgence in both continental and analytic circles. What has marked this veritable renaissance, however, has been a noteworthy neglect of Hegel's second major work, The Science of Logic . In one respect, this is surprising-the Logic is the self-professed centrepiece of Hegel's system; no comprehension of his thinking can thus occur in its absence. In another, it is very understandable: if the Logic deals, as Hegel himself says, with the concept of God before creation, it would seem prima facie diffi cult if not impossible to make such a project palatable to current mainstream philosophical commitments.

Hegel´s Theory of the Syllogism and the Systemic Place of the Science of Logic (2015, Paper)

To begin this paper by asking for the place of Hegel´s Wissenschaft der Logik (SL) within his System, seems to be, at first sight, certainly an odd, and even naive question. As it is very well known, in fact, Hegel´s System is constituted by three main and basic spheres, that is, Logic, Nature, and Spirit, in this order. This is the order in which Hegel´s system is generally understood, and there is a good reason to support this view: it is in this way that Hegel himself presents and exposes the System in his Enzyclopaedia; we begin here by the Logic, then we move on to Nature to finally arrive at the spiritual realm, where the whole System gets its final closure.
